Claimant v Butterflies EDC Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined under rule 21 that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deduction from wages against Butterflies EDC Ltd. The claim was filed on 14 June 2024 in the Midlands East Employment Tribunal. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the required timeframe.
Decision
The Employment Judge determined under rule 21 that the claim could be decided without a hearing as no response had been submitted. The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondent to pay £132 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages.
Practical note
A default judgment under rule 21 will be granted where a respondent fails to submit a timely response, resulting in an automatic finding for the claimant on their wages claim.
